“…The members of this meeting discuss together, and seek to design a representative production system of a given location. During the discussions, the group fills a previously organized spreadsheet, which should represent a typical situation of that area (Ferreira Filho et al, 2009). The technical and economic data used to describe the representative property are not raised individually or from statistical averages: they must be agreed on at a panel meeting.…”

-The objective of this study was to develop a model for calculation and analysis of production costs of lamb and, from that, to elaborate a production cost index. Panel meetings were held in five regions of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, to define technical features of representative properties of lamb production, taken as a basis for the preparation of the cost calculation model. Then the model for production cost calculation was built. The third step consisted of monitoring prices of inputs used, calculating production costs along the studied period, and generating the cost index, by the Laspeyres model. Lastly, questionnaires were applied to sheep producers, to validate the cost index. The model for production cost calculation was planned to be of easy utilization by farmers, and simultaneously faithful to the theoretical principles. The adopted scheme of cost allocation followed the classification of "variable", "fixed operating", and "income of factors". We generated cost indexes for each of the five studied regions, which were then aggregated in a state index, by weighting regional indexes by flock size. More than 97% of the answers to the validation questionnaires were positive, so we considered that the index reached a high level of approval. The application of Economic Theory is essential for the development of cost calculation models. The developed model has potential to generate important information that can help producers to make decisions. It can work in many contexts, and it can even be adapted to other livestock species. The production cost index for lamb was approved and can collaborate with the organization of the sheep agroindustrial system.

Sheep production has expanded in Brazil focusing on lamb meat, mostly to meet demanding internal markets in the state of São Paulo. Such markets present a demand which internal production is insufficient to meet. However, sheep farmers face many technical difficulties to produce quality lambs at viable costs. This study aimed at investigating the main characteristics of sheep production systems of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, in order to provide resources for the development of technologies, policies and other initiatives focused on the activity. We designed in panel meetings the characteristics of representative sheep farms in five regions of the state, concerning: (i) property and manpower profile; (ii) flock; (iii) handling techniques; (iv) facilities and equipment; (v) food production; and (vi) technical indicators. Results demonstrate that the predominant sheep farming in the state employs low technology, presenting low productivity despite its evolution in recent years. We verified great technical deficiency regarding farmers, who are new in this business and usually do not have access to technologies. Producers' unawareness about basic handling procedures and techniques as well as their lack of flock records can contribute to the activity's unsustainability. There is need for improving rural extension and diffusion of technologies.

-To maintain the quality of the cotton fiber, as well as to provide great yields on the harvest, some aspects must be taken into account such as the uniformity of the bolls and the defoliation; therefore, the use of herbicides and maturators become indispensable. Thus, the objective of this paper was to evaluate the efficiency of the prohexadione-calcium regarding its isolate application and in association with other products in the uniformity and opening of the cotton bolls, as well as the defoliation effect and regrowth of the crop. For such, a field experiment was carried out in the municipality of Diamantino -MT. The outline adopted was of randomized blocks with four repetitions and thirteen treatments, those being composed of control without application; prohexadione-calcium + ethephon + cyclanilide; prohexadione-calcium + flumicloracpentyl; prohexadione-calcium + diuron + thidiazuron; prohexadione-calcium + pyraflufen-ethyl; prohexadione-calcium; prohexadione-calcium + iharol. The treatments were applied when approximately 85% of the bolls of the crop 975 WS were open. The variables: apple opening, regrowth and defoliation were analyzed at 0, 3, 6, 10 and 15 days after the application (DAA) and, finally, the productivity of seed cotton was determined. Regardless of the dose, the plants that received prohexadione-calcium associated with ethephon + cyclanilide, diuron + thidiazuron and pyraflufen-ethyl presented a greater number of open bolls and greater defoliation. We can conclude that the different chemical treatments did not provide statistical differences regarding the regrowth of cotton before the harvest, at 15 DAA, and that the use of prohexadione-calcium, isolated or in association with other products, regardless of the dose, did not influence in the productivity of the seed cotton. Keywords: defoliation; Gossypium hirsutum L.; maturing; uniformity of the bolls Resumo -Para manter a qualidade da fibra do algodão, bem como proporcionar ótimos rendimentos na colheita, alguns aspectos devem ser levados em consideração como, por exemplo, a uniformidade dos capulhos e a desfolha, desta forma, a utilização de herbicidas e maturadores tornam-se imprescindíveis. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a eficiência do prohexadione-calcium quando aplicado isoladamente e em associação com outros produtos, na Rev. Bras. Herb., v.14, n.1, p.21-29, jan./mar. 2015 uniformização e abertura dos capulhos do algodão, assim como o efeito na desfolha e rebrota da cultura. Para tanto, conduziu-se um experimento de campo no município de Diamantino-MT. Adotou-se o delineamento de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições e treze tratamentos, sendo estes compostos por: testemunha sem aplicação; prohexadione-calcium + ethefon + cyclanilide; prohexadione-calcium + flumiclorac-pentyl; prohexadione-calcium + diuron + thidiazuron; prohexadione-calcium + pyraflufen-ethyl; prohexadione-calcium; prohexadione-calcium + iharol. Os tratamentos foram aplicados quando aproximadamente 85% das maçãs da cultivar 975 WS esta...
